Bass & Pike In-Lines

Spike, these are very nice. But i don't think you should ever get completely away from bucktail, especially for pike and muskie. There are days when nothing else will work. JIM

Jim,

The bucktails I used to tie had a feather or two coming out of the center, a layer or two of bucktail, finished by a hackle wrapped at the base of the thread... I have lost the eye sight to tie with any level of detail or precision any more. I am thinking I may have to soon get a lit magnifying lens just to get the spinner components threaded on the wire before long. 'm still addicted to catchin' em on MY lures. I still have over 30 years of bucktails I can draw from to keep fishing with them. Worse case, I could buy them from some place.

Hey Spike, those look good. Maybe the eye sight ain't so keen anymore but you sure got a good sense of humor, don't lose that! Many lot of your posts put a big smile on my face. Thanks

John

During the last week of May, 08 these caught what they were built for - BASS & PIKE. Even caught a pike over a tree limb... The silicon skirts and curly tails just killed the pike and even got a few small mouths.
